All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 Dental Implants in Hanoi
All-on-4 is an advanced dental implant technique that replaces an entire arch of missing or failing teeth using just four strategically positioned implants. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw and two are placed at an angle in the back, maximizing contact with available bone. A full set of fixed, non-removable teeth is then attached to these four implants, often on the same day as surgery.
This procedure was developed to give patients with extensive tooth loss or severe dental problems a permanent, stable set of teeth without the need for bone grafting in most cases.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4 dental implants are ideal for patients who:
- Are missing all or most teeth in one or both arches
- Wear full dentures and want a fixed, more comfortable alternative
- Have teeth that are failing due to advanced decay or gum disease and need full-arch extraction
- Have experienced bone loss in the back of the jaw, making traditional implants difficult without grafting
- Want a faster path to a complete smile compared to conventional implant approaches
The All-on-4 Process
Consultation and Digital Planning
The process begins with a thorough evaluation at Serenity International Dental Clinic, including 3D CBCT scanning. The implant team uses digital planning software to determine the precise angle, depth, and position of each implant for maximum bone engagement and long-term stability.
Surgery Day
On the day of surgery, any remaining teeth are extracted, the four implants are placed, and a provisional fixed bridge is attached. The entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation. Most patients leave the clinic with a full set of functional teeth the same day.
Healing Period
Over the next three to six months, the implants integrate with the jawbone. During this time, you wear the provisional bridge and can eat a soft diet that gradually transitions to normal foods.
Final Prosthesis
Once healing is complete, the provisional bridge is replaced with a final prosthesis made from high-strength materials such as zirconia or acrylic with a titanium framework. This final restoration is custom-designed for optimal aesthetics and bite function.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
- Immediate teeth – walk out of the clinic with a full set of fixed teeth on the day of surgery
- No bone grafting needed in most cases – the angled rear implants engage existing bone, avoiding lengthy grafting procedures
- Fixed and stable – unlike dentures, All-on-4 teeth do not slip, click, or require adhesive
- Restored chewing ability – eat a wide variety of foods with confidence
- Natural appearance – the prosthesis includes realistic gum tissue and teeth for a lifelike smile
- Prevents further bone loss – implants stimulate the jawbone and slow resorption
Aftercare
Maintaining your All-on-4 restoration requires daily brushing with a soft-bristle brush, use of a water flosser to clean under the bridge, and regular professional checkups every six months. Your dental team will monitor the implants, gum tissue, and prosthesis to ensure everything remains healthy and well-fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?
The surgical appointment typically takes two to four hours per arch. You leave the same day with a fixed provisional bridge. The final prosthesis is placed after three to six months of healing.
Is All-on-4 suitable if I have bone loss?
Yes. One of the main advantages of All-on-4 is that the two posterior implants are tilted to engage the denser bone at the front of the jaw, which often eliminates the need for bone grafting even in patients with moderate bone loss.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care. The final prosthesis typically lasts 15 to 20 years before it may need refurbishment or replacement.
What is the cost of All-on-4 in Vietnam?
All-on-4 treatment in Vietnam is significantly more affordable than in the US, UK, or Australia. The total cost depends on the materials chosen for the final prosthesis. Contact Serenity International Dental Clinic for a detailed estimate tailored to your needs.
